About Hutt Sister City Foundation

In 1981 the Lower Hutt City Council became a sister city with Tempe, Arizona. Tempe had forged a number of sister city relationships with other cities and was operating a very successful student exchange programme with most of those cities, and Lower Hutt decided to join the programme.

The Hutt City Council established the Hutt Sister City Foundation (HSCF) to administer the exchange programme.
